BISCUIT ~ PPBF

The Biscuit books are just so darn cute and I love them so much, I thought it would be worthwhile featuring a beginning reader series.

And there are a LOT of books in this series. I have about 8 of them, but when I did a search I realized there are even more!

Title: Biscuit Stories

Author: Alyssa Satin Capucilli

Illustrator: Pat Schories

Publisher: Harper Festival, 2002 onwards

Intended Audience: K to Grade 1 Independent Reading

Theme / Topic: Fiction, Beginning Readers, Dogs, Friends

Synopsis: These "I Can Read" stories all feature Biscuit, a sweet, golden-haired puppy. He has all sorts of charming adventures with his young mistress and an assortment of animal friends, including Sam the big dog, and Puddles the kitten.

Opening of Biscuit Goes to School:Here comes the school bus! Woof, woof! Stay here, Biscuit. Dogs don't go to school. Woof! Where is Biscuit going? Is Biscuit going to the pond? Woof!

Why I Like This Book Series: Because my students ADORE Biscuit and it's easily the most sought-after book in my guided reading groups. It's perfect for children who are reading at a level E (Fountas/Pinnell levelling system) or early to mid-Grade 1. The text is very simple, with lots of repetition (can you say "Woof woof"?), but all the books tell real and entertaining stories.

Hi Barbara, I know we have several of these early-reader books when she was younger, but I can't recall any longer. We may have missed out on a lot if we skipped a few of these books that I am pretty sure must have been in our bookshelves once upon atime. Your post has inspired me to dig them out and check whether we still have a few of these lying unloved. Thank you for including this book for PPBF. :)
